Delivery of Myoglobin Polymersomes Results in Tumor Hemorrhagic Necrosis and Enhanced Radiation Response
(2015)There is a critical need to target tumor hypoxia as patients with hypoxic tumors have worse prognosis due to aggressive phenotypes and resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The overall goal of this work is to improve ... -
Design and Implementation of an Institution-Wide Patient-Specific Radiation Dose Monitoring Program for Computed Tomography, Digital Radiography, and Nuclear Medicine
(2011)Recently, there has been renewed interest in decreasing radiation dose to patients from diagnostic imaging procedures. So far, efforts to decrease radiation dose have focused on the amount of radiation delivered from typical ... -
Dissecting the Role of ATRX in Soft Tissue Sarcoma Development and Therapeutic Response
(2022)ATRX is one of the most frequently altered genes in soft tissue sarcoma, with alterations occurring in 29% of these tumors. However, the role of ATRX in the development and response to cancer therapies in soft tissue sarcoma ... -
Measurement and Modeling of Radiation and Water Fluxes in Plantation Forests
(2009)An increasing number of experimental studies attempt to maximize biomass production of trees in plantations by removing nutrient and water limitations. The results from these studies begin to inform operational managers. ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Airway Epithelial Progenitor Cell Maintenance and Repair.
(2016)The lungs are vital organs whose airways are lined with a continuous layer of epithelial cells. Epithelial cells in the distal most part of the lung, the alveolar space, are specialized to facilitate gas exchange. Proximal ... -
Nodal Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Predicts Receipt of Radiation Therapy after Breast Cancer Diagnosis.
(International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics, 2019-10-31)BACKGROUND:Pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is associated with improved overall survival (OS) in breast-cancer patients, but it is unclear how post-NACT response influences radiotherapy ... -
Radiation Dose and Diagnostic Accuracy in Pediatric Computed Tomography
(2010)Since its inception in the 1970's, computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized the practice of medicine and evolved into an essential tool for diagnosing numerous diseases not only in adults but also in children. The clinical ... -
Theoretical Framework for Nanoparticle Reactivity as a Function of Aggregation State
(2010)Theory is developed that relates the reactivity of nanoparticles to the structure of aggregates they may form in suspensions. This theory is applied to consider the case of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation ...
